Plan to automate spammer/robot removal

I bet it has been said before (found a similar but longer/less focused comment at http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...) -- I'm taking this idea from one proposed for reddit.

If there were a button or control available on user B's account page that allowed user A to indicate that they suspect user B is a bot/spammer/follow-scammer, it could be used to automatically flag these accounts as suspicious, or even automatically disable them.

I have had at least 15 fake accounts follow me (out of 50 followers), and I always wish that there was something I could do to indicate that I'm blocking them because _they're bad_, not just because I don't like them. This could also help to reduce the load on the spammer team, if it were built into an automated disabling process.

But everyone always wants a feature; I know you guys are swamped. Good luck with all of the attacks - you don't deserve the slop being thrown at you.
 
happy I’m hopeful
